Amazon just dropped these 6 Kindle models to their lowest prices ever

The basic Kindle (16 GB)

Save $30 -- lowest price ever

The newest Kindle usually retails for $110 and is on sale for $80 during Amazon's early Black Friday sale. The 27% markdown is the lowest price the company has ever sold its basic e-reader, and it's quite a steal.

The basic Kindle is Amazon's lightest and most compact Kindle, which makes it ideal for readers who travel or commute regularly. Its six-inch glare-free display allows you to read in any lighting situation and makes a perfect gift for someone looking to dip their toe into the e-reader world without breaking the bank.

The Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB)

Save $35 -- lowest price ever

The Paperwhite is my favorite Kindle model, and the perfect device for anyone who's ever enjoyed reading -- ever. It's marked down to $125 right now for the early Black Friday sale, which is $35 off its normal $160 asking price.

Considering the extra inch of display over the base Kindle, 25% faster page turns, and water-resistance, it dangles a few more carrots in front of any readers who prefer slightly more premium features. It also features a warm lighting option, should you know any readers who stay up way too late and suffer from eyestrain as a result of "just one more chapter" syndrome.

The Kindle Colorsoft (16 GB)

Save $80 -- lowest price ever

The Kindle Colorsoft, while it got a rocky start with Yellow-Stripe Gate, is one of Amazon's most beloved Kindle models since it brought colors to the iconic E Ink screen. It's heavily discounted to $170, which slashes a whopping $80 off the typical $250 price tag.

The Kindle Colorsoft also sports a seven-inch display and is optimized for reading colorful titles -- like graphic novels, comics, manga, and more. A single charge lasts up to eight weeks, two weeks longer than the base Kindle. It's waterproof and has dark mode, in case you know any night-time readers who enjoy DC comics in the hot tub.

The Kindle Scribe (64 GB)

Save $140 -- lowest price ever

I recently jumped on the Kindle Scribe train, and -- as someone who never thought they'd like digital notebooks -- I'm never getting off. The Kindle Scribe is currently on sale for $310, which is a staggering deal when you consider its typical $450 retail price.

The Kindle Scribe is a wholly digital E Ink tablet that can fundamentally replace that stack of paper notebooks on your desk, plus sync with your Kindle app to let all your notes come with you on the go. Have terrible handwriting? No sweat -- there are AI tools built in that can convert your handwriting to readable font, summarize your notes, and more.

I love my Kindle Scribe, but at such a hefty normal price, I probably wouldn't bite for it again. So, this deal is an incredible time to hit 'buy' if you've been on the fence because of price. But, check out the honorable mention below if you want an even easier dollar sign to swallow.

The Like-New Kindle Scribe (64 GB)

Save $108

This deal is an honorable mention. To elaborate on my tip above, the Kindle Scribe is an incredible note-taking tool that has effectively replaced all my paper agendas and notebooks within the last month. However, the level of convenience isn't necessarily life-changing. So, if you're still squirming at the idea of a price upwards of $300, Amazon also has its Like-New Kindle Scribe on sale for early Black Friday.

The normal refurbished (16 GB) model usually goes for $360 and is on sale for $252. Likewise, the 32 GB refurbished Kindle Scribe is also priced at $252, down from $378. Finally, the 64 GB refurbished model is only $279 compared to the $405 it normally goes for. If there was ever a time to buy a Kindle Scribe, new or like-new, it's now.

Kindles for Kids

From 24-30% off across the line

Amazon didn't leave the kiddos out of its early Black Friday sales, and the entire lineup is showing hefty discounts. If your child is showing promising signs of becoming a future bookworm (or already is one) now is the best time to get the gift that will keep on giving over the years:

• Kindle Colorsoft Kids (16 GB) is $80 off ($190 right now)
• Kindle Paperwhite Kids (16 GB) is $45 off ($145 right now)
• Kindle Kids (16 GB) is $35 off ($95 right now)
